Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping met on Friday hoping to open a new chapter in bilateral relation, Congress president Rahul Gandhi asked the Prime Minister to escalate New Delhi’s concerns and sensitivities regarding the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and the Chinese build-up at Doklam plateau. He told the PM “you look tense” on the visit. However, extending his party’s support, he told Modi that India wants to hear him talk about these crucial issues — Doklam and CPEC — with China.
Congress communication department head Randeep Surjewala stated that“As Modiji ‘hugs’ his friend President Xi Jinping today in Wuhan… will he remember his innate duty to protect India’s strategic interests and question China on the occupation of Doklam impacting India’s national security?… India is facing increasingly aggressive China to intrude into the Chicken Neck-Siliguri Corridor by building a new road through South of Doklam (Gateway to the North East), but why is the Modi government clueless and incapable of sending a strong message to China?” he said.

“Doesn’t the latest satellite imagery… show creation of additional structures by China meters away from Indian Army posts? Has the Prime Minister and Defense Ministry taken note of it? Will Prime Minister Modi take up the issue in the summit with Chinese President today in Wuhan?…Modi may not be able to show red eyes as he loftily promised, but will he show the courage of conviction to do plain-speaking on Doklam and defend India’s interests?” he said in a series of tweets.
